Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

What is Binge Eating Disorder?

BED is a serious mental illness characterised by frequent episodes of binge-eating without compensatory behaviours (such as purging or over-exercising)

Binge Eating involves two key features:

1. Eating a very large amount of food within a relatively short space of time

2. Experiencing a sense of loss of control while eating

People with BED usually feel a strong sense of guilt and shame about their eating habits.

Binge episodes often occur during times of stress or heightened emotion.

BED can occur in both males and females, and across all ages.

Binge Eating Disorder is very treatable and a full recovery is possible even after many years of living with the illness. Through the process of treatment a person with BED will learn how to replace their unhealthy eating habits with more helpful coping strategies, and will learn how to get back in touch with hunger and fullness and to trust their bodies again.
